Happy Thanksgiving!

[daylyn]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my U.S. friends! (and Happy Thursday to everyone else).

My mom feels well enough to cook (woo hoo!) and, even though it's just going to be us and possibly a few friends dropping by, she only knows how to cook for an army... so we are going to have quite a feast (and for a week to come too).

I think the fact that she's been so sick this year (two types of cancer, diabetes) has made me realize just how fragile the future really is. So, everyone, enjoy the here and now. Enjoy your family, enjoy your day.

It's good to be alive.

I wish I was there with you and could help you nibble up all the delicious stuff. Omnomnom. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

*brotherly hugs* ;o)

*hugs tight* Give your mum a hug from me too. It's wonderful that she is feeling well enough to cook. It's a lot to be thankful for after the year she's had.

You should definitely be here. There is so much to eat (and very nice wine to drink) and you would have had an awesome time.

Somehow, some way, I am going to see you in person at some time during the coming year.

*tight, squishy hugs*

Yeah, it's been quite the year. I'm learning to try and enjoy each day as it happens and not stress as much about the future. It's not easy, but... okay, it's not easy.

But today? Today is good.

Much love! And congrats again on all your accomplishments. I am so, so proud of you.
